The University of Kentucky Rugby Alumni Game has been scheduled for April 13. This is the sixth annual bout, which pits alumni of the UK rugby team against current members of the UK squad. All time, the alumni have won four times, while the UK team has one once.
Following the alumni game, the UK Rugby JV squad will face off against the Alumni Old Boys, which consists of former players now 40 and over.
At this popular family-friendly event, organizers will be grilling burgers and hot dogs and a DJ will be providing music. There will also be UK Rugby merchandise available for purchase, and donations will be accepted on behalf of the team. Last year organizers raised almost $10,000.
The day will conclude with the induction of Mark Nett and Ron Dosker into the UK Rugby Hall of Fame.
Game time is set for 1 p.m and the festivities will be held at the UK Rugby Pitch (570 Wildcat Way, next to the UK Soccer / Softball Complex).
